  Description

  We are an institute working in teaching English for 25 years in the city of Tunja, Boyacá. It was founded with the purpose to contribute with his knowledge and experience in teaching through a learning process in which living a second language is instilled in a natural way.
  Our methodology allows us to work with small groups of students (5 or 6) students per class. This way the students have more individual participation in class and teachers have enough time to carry out their activities.
  Our main concern is to speak with our students about daily issues to have them develop speaking skills, that’s why we apply for native English speakers to help us.
  We offer the workawayers all the benefits that entail lodging, food, transportation (if necessary), environment of respect, friendship and responsibility, also the opportunity to know the most beautiful places that surround our city, and all the conditions to learn the Spanish Language.
  We have had teachers from different countries including: Canada, the Netherlands, the United States and England, with whom we have shared wonderful time together, we still hear from them and are in touch so far.
  We want you to come and join us in our quest to help make this city the first bilingual city of Colombia, you are welcome.
